Technical Progress Report. Advanced Ocean Engineering Laboratory
Abstract
The annual report reflects the technical status of projects conducted within the Advanced Ocean Engineering Laboratory at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. These projects are: (1) Stable Floating Platform - to conceive, design, build and demonstrate the feasibility of large stable floating platforms in the open sea. (2) Benthic Array - a program to develop and construct a quartz vertical accelerometer appropriately packaged and adapted for long term ocean bottom or perhaps sub-bottom use. (3) Overpressure Due to Earthquakes- a study of earthquakes, seaquakes and resultant overpressures as they may effect subsurface vehicles and structures. (4) Advanced Studies in Nearshore Engineering - field studies of the water-sediment interface under wave action in and near the breaker zone; and laboratory investigation of the velocity field of breaking waves. (5) Electro-magnetic Roughness of the Ocean Surface - utilization of radio signals scattered from the sea surface to determine the directional spectrum of ocean waves.
